The production of one woman (and one man) show stars Irene Ang, guest star Chua Enlai and it's directed by Beatrice Chia Richmond and written by Benjamin Lee a.k.a Mr Miyagi. The hour plus of song, stand up, explores why some woman remain single, childless and more importantly, happy.

Look who's here. It's Mindee Ong, one of the papaya sisters in the 881 production.



Irene, Enlai and Beatrice needs no introduction. But who's Mr Miyagi? It's quite a unique name. Well, Mr Miyagi aka Benjamin Lee has been writing for several years, both on and off his blog which is so popular that it was recently recused from being nomiated at the Asian Blog Awards 2006. Recent offline work include his first stage production for Singaporean funny man Hossan Leong, calld 'Multiple Personalities Disorder', which played to packed houses and extended shows earlier this year. He's also in demand for fast and furious comedy sketches across all media.

For the production, i think it was a good choice to have Enlai as the co-star. Without him, the think the show will be abit flat. He did a fabulous job imitating the accent of a filipino nurse. And i'm impressed with Irene's command of hokkien. Many of the segments were really funny and it made me break out into laughter.
